The Lucky Life

Being a Stay at Home Mom is something that I still pinch myself that I get to do. Sure, there are plenty of things I miss from having 2 incomes (shopping, trips, etc) but really, I love being home and I know just how precious this time I'm getting with my kids is. Sometimes it hits me, just how lucky I am.

I'm so lucky.......

that I get to be the one who takes Brayden to and from the bus stopthat I get to drive and pick Ella up from preschoolthat I get to spend my days playing dolls, legos, play doh and zombiesthat I (mostly) get plenty of time to prep and serve a homemade dinnerthat if I want to watch to a movie with my kids mid-day, I canthat I get to be home when Brayden comes home from school and help him with his homeworkthat I get to take my kids to do fun things during the daythat I have a husband who supports me staying home and understands how important it is to me

Of course it's not always sunshine and rainbows but at the end of the day, I feel so lucky and fortunate to stay home. It's really ironic too since before having kids I always said I would never want to stay home. It's funny how things can change, isn't it!?

Don't forget to come link up with us Thursday for a time in your life when you were really lucky. I won't be getting all sappy like I did today, promise :)

It is such a blessing I get to stay home too - I worked when my first was born and it's a different kind of crazy! Motherhood is sanctifying but man there are some sweet sweet moments :) Thanks for sharing your heart xoxo ERIN

Love this! With my kids being a bit older, I joke with my husband about who would even hire me. I can't work after school, on weekends or through out the summer... along with anytime one of the kids is home sick. So basically, motherhood has made me unemployable for the time being. ;)

You are one lucky mommy. I love that you find the good in everything. I sometimes wish I could stay home with my girls, but I do love the social interaction at work. It is a give and take for me and I have a hard time being away from my girls and being away from work. You do it beautifully!
